Day 10: When Bad Luck Strikes

A wrestler can be smiling on his doorstep on a beautiful evening, dreaming of his first ever salary, and just days later be laid up in hospital, not knowing when he'll fight again. The harshness of sumo again brought home in this post.

And in Makushita (Divsion 3--no salary) today

Roga (Ms4e)(1-3--2-3) v Shishi (Ms7e) (1-3--1-4) (Direct Link to Match Video)

Russia v Ukraine on the dohyo. The fans gave a warm welcome to both. Lost in all of this was the fact that both are up and comers who, many thought, were certain to reach Juryo (2nd Division--salaried) soon. Shishi was coming off a 6-1 March Basho that moved him 10 ranks up to Ms7e. Roga was also 6-1 in March, advancing from Ms12e to Ms4e. So this bout might have had Yusho (Championship) implications .It was not to be. Both have stumbled badly, and this match was a battle to avoid make-koshi (losing record) and demotion. Roga made it for one more day. Shishi did not. Hopefully both will be back to their dominant selves in July, but it will be a longer road to a salary from wherever they end up on the Banzuke (rankings).

Tachiai.org coverage of the Jonokuchi (Division 6--non salaried, lowest division) Basho. Note: The Japan Sumo Association links to all Jonokuchi Rikishi in its daily accounting of the Basho. (Under Banzuke, arrow to Jonokuchi). The Jonokuchi Basho, as with all Division 3-6 Basho, consist of 7 matches over the 15 Day Tournament.

Jonokuchi Match Day 5, covering Days 9-10.  Today's installment includes 3 Jonokuchi matches, two between contenders, and one with a Sotokomata (Over Thigh Scooping Body Drop) Kimarite (finishing move), the only one used in all 6 Divisions so far, and the first one since May 2021.

Quotable: 

"You do feel more comfortable with eight wins in the bank. I can go for it even more from tomorrow. I get fairly tense up there, but do believe that people can almost see how hard I'm focusing. 

"Takanosho (M4w), on his very close victory over Endo (M4e), which left him tied for the Basho lead with Ichiamamoto at 8-2. 

 

=======================

"I lost but did so on the offense. The losses may be mounting up but I'm still battling and today's display I hope to build on tomorrow." 

Yutakayama (M14e) on his loss to Shimanoumi (M8e), after an intense, action packed 36 second battle. 

=======================

"My master told me if in doubt go forward, and I'm pleased I could do that after dealing with his sideways dart."

Ichiyamamoto (M15w), on his win over Kotoshoho (M9e). With the win, he stays tied for the lead in the Basho 

"He entered my turf right from the initial charge. Poor focus on my part." 

Kotoshoho (M9e), pinpointing exactly what caused the defeat, from his point of view. 

======================= 

======================= 

"At least that's what I thought they (mono-ii--Judges Convference after a very close call by the gyoji (referree) debated, because I might have clipped the hair (pulling the top knot is an automatic disqualification) when I went to throw." 

Tochinoshin (M9w), winner of 6 of his last 7, after starting out 0-3, on his win, which knocked  Sadanoumi (M12w) out of a share of the Basho lead. The mono-ii was about a different issue, and the decision was upheld. 

"I could attack him OK but have to bury my head in his chest more and drive." 

Sadanoumi 

=======================

=======================

"My face was spared his shots today, and once my right got in I was going for my move (Katasukashi--Under Shoulder Swing Down). "

Midorifuji (M16w), on his stylish win that knocked his opponent, Aoiyoyama (M11e) out of 1st Place.
